I never said the Temp. In Europe is exactly like Canada!

But this poseter wants a very warm beach destination in Europe in January!

And it doesn't really matter if the Temp. in Canada was -20, but only -5 in Spain, it's still too cold for me to wear a swim suit!

In January there is definitely no place in Europe as warm as the Caribbean. Basic Knowledge isn't it?

Come on, its nowhere near -5 at the beach in Spain in January. Maximums are always between 16- 22 Celsius, but the sea is cold. If you want temperatures above 25, you wont find them in Europe. The canaries are nice and a good spot for a winter vacation, arent they?

>would like warm weather

Now what is the difference between warm and very warm exactly :-) :-) :-)

If the examples given are Mexico and the Caribbean, then I think one can safely interpret "warm" as "very warm"...

Thanks eloise!
and the average temp. in Spain in January is 4 C. very nice and warm isnt' it?

You really need to be right, dont you ;-)
Mix the cold temperatures in the Sierra with the warm temperatures at the sea and what you will et is about 4 deg. Doesnt change the fact that Maximums (at sea level) range between 16-22 Celsuis in January :-) :-)

Logos, when talking about Malaga, you're probably right with the 22°, but I can assure you there was snow falling in Barcelona last January, and that is also 'Spain' and 'beach'... although I have to admit there were other January days when I was on my terrace, out of the wind, and I could easily have been there in a bathing suit sun tanning.

It could be kind of warm on some days, but you never know when it's going start snowing again. and even if it didn't snow, it would still be too cold for a swim suit.

No need to worry about that in Florida the Carribean!

everyone here says that what I am saying makes alot of sense, logo sweety, I am not going to reply to this thread again.

Too bad, darling mnss :-) Did you know Teneriffe is at about the same latitude as Orlando?

mnss Apr 27th, 2005 04:50 PM

:)) dAAling, the only thing I know for sure is that logos got straight Fs in Geography!

logos999 Apr 27th, 2005 09:30 PM

I knew you would answer :-)

mnss Apr 28th, 2005 08:46 AM

That's the only thing you were right about though ;)

Mcgubes. Have you considered Austrailia or New Zealand. They might be a better locations for your wishes and timetable.

mnss Apr 28th, 2005 05:10 PM

That's a great idea!
